Located just 20 minutes from downtown in the Forest Hills section of Tampa, Babe Zaharias Golf Course meanders through a tree-lined residential neighborhood. The golf course measures a modest 6,020 yards, but should not be taken lightly. Although both nines on "The Babe" are par 35, the back side sports four par-4 holes in excess of 400 yards, providing a challenge for golfers of all skill levels.

Good course

Very open, a bit on the short side. Conditions for what I've seen here in Central fla, very good to what else I've played [10 rounds in 4 weeks] most courses tees and fairways are beat to death these were in good condition. Greens we very well maintained and rolled nicely. I'd go back for sure.

Great Course

I’m a mid-handicap senior woman golfer and I played this course well. The part 4s and 5s were reachable from the forward tees. The par 3s were challenging and I hit a few, the others like hole #17 I had to go to the drop zone.

Greens and fairways were in great shape and all the holes were marked well for first timers.

Only opportunity was there wasn’t a full driving range, just a net to hit irons into, but at least you could warm up your full swing.

Good round

Greens were very good, not too fast, not too slow; no bare spots or weeds. Pace was a bit slow as there was a a group of 40 that was on the course in front of us, but still a good round.

1st time here

Joined 3 regular players at this course and I'm glad I did as their insight was invaluable. There are some holes which doglegged even more than my GPS system suggested and so having them show me line of play was really helpful.
I hope to play here again on future visits.
The staff were all friendly and helpful which seems to be a common trait on this trip.
